[0015] The following will further describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings and embodiments. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0016] The natural gas dispersion tower is a safety device in the natural gas pipeline system, which is used to timely disperse the gas to a safe area in case of abnormal situations in the pipeline system, such as pipeline leakage or excessive pressure, to avoid accidents. When the existing dispersion tower discharges gas, if there is no wind, the gas disperses slowly and is likely to accumulate above, posing a safety risk.

[0017] To solve this problem, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, this application proposes a dispersion cooling device, including: a cooling component and a dispersion component; the cooling component includes a tower body 110 and a water distribution pipe 130. A filling layer 120 is arranged inside the tower body 110. The water distribution pipe 130 is arranged horizontally inside the filling layer 120, and a plurality of water outlet holes are opened downward on the water distribution pipe 130; the dispersion component is arranged inside the tower body 110 and includes a collection and distribution pipe fitting. The collection and distribution pipe fitting includes a collection pipe 220 and a dispersion pipe 210. One end of the collection pipe 220 extends outside the tower body 110. The collection pipe 220 is docked with the dispersion pipe 210. The dispersion pipe 210 is arranged vertically. The upper end of the dispersion pipe 210 passes upward through the filling layer 120, and a dispersion port 211 is arranged at the upper end of the dispersion pipe 210.

[0018] Referring to Figure 1 , the filling layer 120 is located in the lower half of the tower body 110. A weight material is arranged inside the filling layer 120. By arranging the weight material, the stability and wind resistance of the tower body 110 are improved. Water is used as a circulating coolant, which is convenient to obtain and has a low cost. Hot water is introduced into the water distribution pipe 130 and flows downward through the water outlet holes. By reducing the flow rate and increasing the pressure, the contact area of water is increased, and the heat dissipation efficiency is improved. The sprayed water is recycled. The air heated by the hot water sprayed from the water distribution pipe 130 rises to form an upward air current and is discharged outside the tower body 110 through the open mouth at the upper end of the tower body 110. The collection pipe 220 is connected to the natural gas pipeline. When the pressure of the natural gas pipeline increases, the dispersion port 211 at the upper end of the dispersion pipe 210 is opened. The upper end of the dispersion pipe 210 passes through the filling layer 120 to ensure that the dispersion port 211 can smoothly discharge gas. The discharged gas is driven by the upward air current and discharged through the open mouth at the upper end of the tower body 110, improving the natural gas dispersion efficiency. At the same time, the upward air current can disperse the natural gas, reducing the risk of natural gas accumulation, enabling the natural gas to be discharged in time, and reducing the safety risk.

[0019] In addition, by arranging the dispersion component inside the tower body 110, the device can not only be used for the cooling cycle of the water coolant, utilize the upward air current generated during the cooling process of the water coolant to accelerate the dispersion of natural gas, but also save the floor area.

[0020] It can be understood that referring to Figure 1 , a support frame is arranged inside the tower body 110 to enhance the stability and structural strength of the tower body 110. The support frame includes a plurality of support rods 140. The support rods 140 are arranged vertically, enabling the tower body 110 to better disperse and bear the forces in all directions when stressed, thereby avoiding the risk of the tower body 110 tilting or collapsing. One end of the support rod 140 is connected to the filling layer 120, and the other end of the support rod 140 is fixed on the ground, ensuring the stability of the overall structure and being able to effectively support the weight and external pressure of the tower body 110.

[0021] It should be noted that the material of the support rod 140 can be made of high-strength metal or other corrosion-resistant materials to ensure durability and reliability during long-term use. The number and spacing of the support rods 140 can be adjusted according to the height and diameter of the tower body 110 to achieve the best support effect.

[0022] It can be understood that, referring to Figure 1 , the dispersion assembly includes guy ropes 230. There are multiple guy ropes 230, and the multiple guy ropes 230 are arranged along the circumferential direction of the dispersion pipe 210. One end of the guy rope 230 is connected to the dispersion pipe 210, and the other end of the guy rope 230 is fixed on the ground, and the end of the guy rope 230 connected to the ground is far from the dispersion pipe 210. By connecting the guy rope 230 to the dispersion pipe 210, the fixing effect of the dispersion pipe 210 can be effectively enhanced. During the gas dispersion process, the pressure and vibration generated by the gas flow on the dispersion pipe 210 will cause the dispersion pipe 210 to shake. By connecting multiple guy ropes 230 to the dispersion pipe 210, the dispersion pipe 210 can be kept stable during the dispersion process.

[0023] It should be noted that the guy rope 230 can be made of high-strength materials, such as steel wire ropes or high-strength fiber ropes, to ensure its durability and reliability during long-term use.

[0024] It can also be understood that, referring to Figure 1 , the dispersion assembly further includes a positioning anchor (not shown in the drawings). The positioning anchor is arranged away from the collection and distribution pipe and is fixed on the ground. The guy rope 230 is connected to the positioning anchor. A positioning ring 240 is provided on the positioning anchor. By tying the guy rope 230 to the positioning ring 240, the fixing of the guy rope 230 is realized, which is convenient to operate and improves efficiency.

[0025] It can be understood that, referring to Figure 1 , an air inlet 111 is opened at the lower part of the tower body 110, and the air inlet 111 is arranged along the circumferential direction of the tower body 110. As the water vapor rises and is discharged from the upper end of the tower body 110, the air pressure inside the tower body 110 decreases to form a negative pressure, and the outside cold air enters the tower body 110 from the lower air inlet 111. The outside gas is continuously supplemented into the tower body 110 to form a cycle, ensuring the dispersion effect and at the same time ensuring that there is sufficient air to continuously cool the hot water to ensure the cooling effect.

[0026] It can be understood that, referring to Figure 1, the diameter of the tower body 110 gradually decreases from bottom to top, which can effectively guide the gas to flow upward and accelerate the gas discharge speed, thereby reducing the accumulation of gas above the tower body 110, reducing the safety risk, and still being able to quickly discharge the gas to the outside under windless conditions. Specifically, the lower part of the tower body 110 has a larger diameter, which can accommodate more gas to enter and provide sufficient space for the upward flow of the gas. As the diameter of the tower body 110 gradually decreases, the space restriction on the gas during the upward movement gradually increases, thereby accelerating the gas flow speed, guiding the gas to be discharged to the outside, and accelerating the dissipation speed.

[0027] It can be understood that with reference to Figure 1 , the cooling component further includes a water inlet pipe 150. The water inlet pipe 150 includes a horizontal pipe 151 and a vertical pipe 152. The horizontal pipe 151 is docked with the vertical pipe 152. The horizontal pipe 151 extends outside the tower body 110, and the vertical pipe 152 is docked with the water distribution pipe 130. Water flows from the horizontal pipe 151 to the vertical pipe 152. The vertically arranged vertical pipe 152 ensures that the water inlet pipe 150 is in a full state when the water volume is sufficient, which helps to stabilize the water pressure.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, in an embodiment of the present invention, a gas discharge and cooling device sprays hot water downward from the water outlet holes, and the temperature of the water is reduced through the contact between the water and the air. The air in the tower body 110 is heated and discharged upward along the tower body 110, forming an upward air flow. When the gas discharge pipe 210 relieves pressure, the sprayed natural gas is immediately carried upward by the upward air flow, improving the pressure relief effect, enabling the natural gas to be quickly carried to the outside by the upward air flow and dispersed, reducing the safety risk. In addition, by combining the gas discharge component and the cooling component, the floor area is saved and the land is saved.

[0029] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art of this technology, without departing from the counting principle of the present invention, several improvements and replacements can still be made, and these improvements and replacements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
